Australian dining culture trends toward Medium-Rare for premium steakhouse cuts (Eye Fillet, Scotch Fillet, Sirloin/Porterhouse). The Aussie 'barbie' (BBQ) tradition for Snags (sausages) and Rump steaks runs slightly more cooked than American BBQ — usually Medium to Medium-Well. MSA grading focuses on eating quality across all doneness levels, so even Well Done MSA-graded cuts retain reasonable tenderness.

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
